Uwe Rosler: This is undoubtedly a questionable period for United’s head coach. The second month of the season has not been a good one and his tactics came to nothing against Birmingham.

The truth is that Leeds prefer to play the way City played – but the crowd at Elland Road will always expect Rosler’s side to be on the front foot at home.

He has much to ponder in the international break.

KEY MOMENT

Gray’s lethal finish: The winger did exactly what visiting teams have to do at Elland Road: kill all of United’s momentum, heap the pressure on Rosler’s players and force Leeds to come forward for an equaliser. The gaps in front of Marco Silvestri were huge and City managed to exploit those pockets for a second time at the death. That killer goal was coming.
